A. Dear Client,

If you're classified as a workman under Section 2(s) of the Industrial Dispute Act and not in a managerial or supervisory role, you can serve a legal notice to your company and then file an application under Section 33C(2) of the ID Act before the Labour Court to claim dues upon resignation. However, if you hold a managerial or administrative position, you would need to file a civil suit before the Civil Court to seek appropriate relief in the matter.
